A buddah shrine

[Mark Valsi]

I made a similar one for my Sis-in-law, and decided to try one in walnut.
Criticisms welcomed

Looks great, Mark. Well done. I like the figure in the wood and the hinges are cool. Where did you get them?

[Mark Valsi]

Al, I got the hinges at ANZEN HARDWARE in LIttle Tokyo in Los Angeles.

Thanks

Where's the buddha?

Looks great--which tradition is it for?

I like the use and symmetry in the grain and the contrast with the front panel; my only suggestion is that the hinges look large for the size of the case to my (western trained) eye.

Finally, what did you use for finish?

Cheers,
C

Where's the buddha? OUT TO LUNCH ??

Looks great--which tradition is it for? I HAVE NO IDEA ???

I like the use and symmetry in the grain and the contrast with the front panel; my only suggestion is that the hinges look large for the size of the case to my (western trained) eye. YES, THEY ARE, ONLY ONES I C OULD FIND IN A HARDWARE STORE IN LITTLE TOKYO IN LOS ANGELES

Finally, what did you use for finish? WATCO AND WAX

Reminds me of the joke: What did the Dali Lama say to the hot dog vendor? "Make me one with everything"

Again, looks great and forgot to say that I also really like the light banding on the back.
